i have a question about kick panel enclosures. i'm getting some component speakers to put in my car, 97 accord. originally i was gonna cut a small hole near the door handle but i really don't like the idea of cutting into my car. i figure kick panel enclosures would be a good idea. i'm just wondering everybody's thoughts on these. are they easy to install? i was reading on their website that they can fit up to 6 1/8 inch speaker, originally i'm wanting to put in a 5.6 inch speaker, my original guess is that it won't fit, but you never know. basically i'm just looking for some opinions here. can anyone help me out???

As stated, they can fit UP TO a 6.125" speaker.. thus your 5.6" (???) speaker WILL fit. However, depending on grille size, etc, your speaker may not completely cover the speaker mounting area on the Q-Form, however... it will fit.
Kickpanels are definitely the way to go, as far as imaging is concerned in most any vehicle. However, Q-forms are not the best enclosure for speakers, being they arent very rigid, but they are a cheap alternative to having a shop custom make you some fiberglass ones.

alright, well i'll probably look into getting some. it's my understanding, you just cut the enclosure to fit the speaker? i wanna make sure i know how to do it before i order them and mess it all up.
